Hi, Ken -

Thanks! I thought the bug angle was neat because how clearly the
pretty graphs showed the problem. :-)

Yeah, those were meant as colloquial instructions.

Not necessarily just the same host. You can give it a parent
directory, and it'll let you navigate to subdirectories=hosts of your
choice and put them on graphs individually or together (to
contrast/relate different hosts). Many of the graphite guis support
wildcards, so * for the first component means "all archives".
Once we have that partial-grand-unification widget that glues archives
in a directory together, this will be even tighter. (A complication
that code will need to consider is [1].)

You need to expand the graphite-namespaced metric tree under the
"Graphite" icon on the left pane. You navigate down to metrics to
toggle their inclusion on the "composer" window. Tweak the "date
range" / "recent data" buttons on the top of the composer window to
include the time range.
